Title: Strategus Round 7: Started March 5, 21:00 PST
Post by: RD_Professor on March 06, 2018, 09:35:06 am
Finally, the bloated, half-dead body of Strat 6 has been mercifully smothered with a pillow, and some spine-tingling SQL queries. Despite my rather carefree queries, the reset seems to have completed without any major bugs. I'll post the results of Strat 6 as soon as I can sift out the results from its mess.

In memorium to come

Changes in Strat 7:
-Bufixes. Lots of them. As of now, the only bugs I'm aware of are the equipment box bugs, and small siege tower. Oh, and psuedonyms. Battle loot result has been fixed, peasant gear is fixed, etc
-Movement speed. It's been increased by a factor of 4. I'd like things to move quicker this strat
-Tick generation. Sorry, passive tick generation has been decreased back down to old levels. However, a hotfix soon (tm) will increase tick generation by playing game
-Criminals. Unfortunately, the efforts in late Strat 6 to keep the bad guys out have failed. Crime has returned, but only to castles and towns.
-Fiefs. The map has been radically changed, especially on NA side. Both NA and EU had their fief numbers reduced (to increase contention for fiefs), and the relative distribution of fief types has shifted towards more villages
-Villages. Additional buffs for villages to come soon
-Nighttime. Increased to 12 hours, to prevent shitty 4am battles. I'll likely do further work on this to ensure that battles are fought at prime times.
-Roster cap. Back down to 50
-Tweaks here and there. I can't remember everything that I've changed right now, but I'll update this more when anything comes to mind.

End Date:
At the moment, I'm not going to set a hard end date for this strategus. But, it's highly likely that it will be a shorter one, and see many updates/improvements as it plays out. There were many features that I planned to implement (certainly a good few ones have been discussed in threads), sadly I couldn't remember many, if any at all. All I remember is that there were some rather cool ideas people came up with that would be great to add to this strat. Now that the weight of needing to work on strat reset is off my shoulders, I can work on implementing those features.

As with my patchnotes post, I'll update this more in the coming days. It's been a long day, and I know that I've forgotten at least a moderate amount of changes. In any case, I'm pretty gosh darn pleased to have gotten this completed. Not at all like I gave my word I'd have this done last week.
Ahem.

Nice work, Prof! Thanks for your efforts to keep this mod living and breathing!

Why crime though? Makes it very difficult to both own a fief and go out to make battles happen, awful mechanic unless our pop astronomically rebounds.


Really great job otherwise though good sir.

I actually had a mega autism moment the other week with rando and i had 1437 kills to 1020 deaths for about a 1.4:1 kd last strat. Of course allow for human error and battles that happened since. Probably around the same tho in terms of kd. Just went through the archive and added up all my kills and deaths byt i guess you cant do that anymore

that data is 'deleted'. can still retrieve it via backups but it's a 1gig text file of SQL insertions which does not sound at all fun to sift through. maybe I'll feel extra extra motivated one day to pull them out

Was there a change with goods? I noticed that only a few kept the "exotic" moniker, in both NA and even in EU, and (at least compared to last strat) different goods seem to be sold at different fiefs (no big deal, really). So without the 'exotic' tag on all NA goods, does that mean that there is no immediate price hike when crossing the NA/EU border, and trade bonus is purely distance-based now?

Think they only changed it for the village sthey put in when they made the NA map so the new villages dont have them

Plenty of pre-existing fiefs also no longer have exotic goods. I.e. Last strat Sargoth had Exotic Ale, this strat it just has Dried Horse Meat. The two Ismiralas had Exotic Eels and Eelskin stuff, not anymore, and the list goes on. Not that I ever find myself wandering into the stinkhole that is EU, I'm just curious if they (intentionally or not) removed border-induced distance bonuses... or more importantly, if you are able to get an absurd distance bonus by buying exotic goods in one fief and walking just a few paces and selling them at 350% at a neighboring fief that doesn't produce exotic goods?

Hey , Decided to come back. Noticed long voulge is no longer able to swing side to side. Unfortunate as I have 1 +3'd for that reason previously. Any way to get these points refunded?  :|

Appreciated in advance
